SPACIOUS LAYOUT, ENDLESS POTENTIAL AND A BACKYARD MADE FOR SUMMER-BRING YOUR DESIGN IDEAS AND MAKE IT YOUR OWN! Channel your inner HGTV host-this home is your canvas! With an easy-flow layout and generously sized rooms, all it needs is your personal touch to bring your dream home to life. Start in the welcoming foyer with two large coat closet-a great landing zone when guests arrive. From there, hardwood floors lead into the expansive living room, which flows effortlessly into the kitchen and sun-filled eating area. A peninsula with comfortable breakfast bar seating offers the perfect spot to catch up over coffee or lend a hand with homework while dinner simmers nearby. Granite countertops stretch across the space, offering plenty of room to prep and plate, while custom cabinetry with classic crown molding adds a touch of timeless charm. Under-cabinet lighting softly illuminates the workspace, making everything feel warm and inviting. A sunlit eating area offers the ideal setting for everyday meals, and the oversized serving bar is ready to shine during holidays spreads, celebrations, or relaxed weekend brunches. An exterior door opens to a fenced backyard featuring a spacious Trex deck (new in 2023)-your go-to summer hangout for grilling, entertaining, or simply soaking up the sun. Just off the kitchen, sightlines lead into the cozy lower-level family room, where a floor-to-ceiling brick gas fireplace with remote start creates a warm and inviting focal point. The adjacent bonus area includes a wet bar with a second refrigerator, making this level ideal for game nights, movie marathons, or just everyday living. A half bath and laundry room on this level add convenience and flexibility to the home's layout. Upstairs, retreat to the primary suite, privately tucked a few steps above the secondary bedrooms. French doors open where you will find an intimate sitting area connected to the primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings,  an impressive walk-in closet, and a spa-like en-suite bath featuring dual sinks, a whirlpool tub, and a separate shower. Three more generously sized bedrooms-one with its own private bath-and a second full hall bath complete the second level. The finished basement offers even more possibilities with a large rec room and a fifth bedroom that makes a perfect guest suite, a hangout space, or quiet home office. Additional highlights include a two-car garage, professionally landscaped front yard, smartphone-controlled sprinkler system, double sump pump (2023), and a backup generator system for peace of mind. All of this just minutes from Independence Grove's scenic trails and outdoor fun, plus downtown Libertyville's beloved boutiques, dining, and seasonal farmers market.
